Rodriguez takes early vote lead

Former City Councilman Justin Rodriguez appears poised to win the Democratic nomination for the 125th District seat in the Texas House of Representatives.

He holds a commanding lead in early voting over opponent Delicia Herrera, also a former San Antonio councilwoman. Rodriguez pinned down 1,819 votes, or 68.46 percent. Herrera’s late attack advertisements on Rodriguez appear to have done little for her as she’s garnered 838 early votes, amounting to 31.54 percent.

Rodriguez would face Republican Alma Perez Jackson in the November general election.
